Was clearing out my watched items and fell upon this! Are you still about?
My brief update:
Went to Sat and Sun in Dublin and felt like the luckiest girl in the world both different and both amazing. Got tipsy with DP after the Saturday show and crawled home, slept a lot on Sunday. Sunday night was a brilliant show and I was just elated. Went straight back to the hotel which was hooching with people outside. We went in and decided to drop our coats in our room before having a quick drink at the bar. Walked through the hotel to the lift and as we approached I could hear a voice.....gravelly and American, I looked at DP, he looked at me, I knew was was coming as I turned the corner.
Turned the corner and came to face the back of the man himself. He was chatting to a little boy and having their photos taken. There was only me, DP, the boy and his mum, Bruce's son and friend and the minder. His minder was lovely and friendly and said Bruce was just hoping to relax now so I said of course and said we would just head to the lift. As we passed, he smiled and I told him it was a "brilliant show tonight". He smiled and said "yeah? did you like that?". Outside I was composed and smiley, inside I was jumping for joy up and down inside my skeleton and making noises the human ear couldn't decipher
DP shook hands and said we were also going to Glasgow and he said "see you there". Then he said night to his son ("love you dad", "love you too son") who then joined us in the lift up. He chatted, lovely boy!!!
When we left the life I was just stuck to the ceiling, beside myself with excitement. Even now, my face breaks into a HUGE smile when I think about it. It was lovely.
We went down and had drinks in the tiny hotel bar. It was fine at first but as more people heard it just got busier and busier. Most of us in the bar were happy to stand and chat with each other, happy to be near Bruce who was chilling out with a couple of Guiness with the rest of the band. A few numpties started taking photos and trying to shout across and it just made it uncomfortable for everyone. After about an hour, Bruce left. He knew he could sneak out or walk through the crowd and decided to walk the crowd. Signing and chatting. He walked RIGHT by me and I subtlety snapped a photo on my mobile. The woman next to me couldn't believe it either and asked me if I thought we were allowed to touch him. I laughed and said "I don't care, I AM"
He was mobbed all the way through. I followed just to watch in awe but I would never, ever make a pest of myself as I saw lots of people doing.
Then, I happened to be watching from afar beside a corridor that he happened to be taking. As the minder made body space for Bruce, I ended up inside the corridor with one other man. The man had an album cover and Bruce signed it. I still had my ticket in my back pocket and he signed it for me. Again I was doing loop the loop inside my body. I just couldn't believe my luck. I faired better than the man next to me though, I could at least talk, the man next to me was shocked to the core, he could't speak or even smile I felt really relaxed and just enjoyed the whole thing! He is just a man after all and I didn't want to be a pushy cow. It was the best moment ever and if I never get to a concert again, it doesn't matter, I have lived my dream!!
Two nights later, we went to Hampden and, although I didn't get as close to the front as your DH, I did get close enough. It was magic!
Can't wait for the next time but how could I better that!
Apologies for blabbing on.
I know you'll understand.
Love to you and your DH, will shout as soon as I hear anything at all about tours. Since me and Bruce are so close now, I'm sure he'll call
